Being privileged with many heritages and gifts, I have felt that it is the “best of both worlds” or, in my case, “best of a few worlds”…==Some people do seem to appreciate that the glass really is half full, that one who is multi-racial can be well rounded, culturally, societally, etc…. I’ve heard some, though, who assume that one would be confused… as if you’d have to choose one thing or the other… if that was the case, though… we’d ALL have to do some choosing, in one way or another… we all should be able to identify ourselves, not have another to do so…that would be the essence of true liberty….==But the focus should really be on who you are, NOTwhat you are… as someone mentioned yesterday, we are human……

I truly beleive the only way we will ever get rid of racial pride and predgidous(sp) is to completely meld all races on the entire planet together. Then the world will be able to move forward- NOT before.

“– not be a representation of reality”Those weren’t robots in that commercial… they were real people, alright…. and it wasn’t meant to represent a “one size fits all”… just a random family….that is all… they just happened to be “multi-racial”…. just like some people happen to be “tall”, “short”, “brown eyed”… or happen to be this or that…. it pales in the grand picture of it all… ==They are definitely real people… not meant to be the “definition of all”, but are a part of reality….

“The purpose of a commercial is to make you buy a product – not be a representation of reality.”

Well, REALPEOPLE respond positively to advertising that shows people similar to themselves.

Biracial households have money to spend, just like any other household. If Brand A includes biracial families in their advertising and Brand B does not, it’s unsurprising that some consumers might say “Well, I guess Brand B doesn’t WANT my money…”

About JumpStart

Packed with humor and heart, JumpStart is a modern comic strip with a classic feel. At the core of the JumpStart family is Joe Cobb, a big-city cop, and his wife, Marcy, a nurse in a bustling Philadelphia hospital. Their jobs are easy compared to the challenge of raising four kids. At the end of the day, Joe and Marcy want what we all want: a good night's sleep. Their oldest, Sunny, is an avid reader who can answer your questions before you have time to do a Google search. Her brother, Jojo (aka Joseph Cobb, Jr.), has aspirations of being president. In fact, he already is president — of his second-grade class. Joe and Marcy's newest surprise additions are the twins, Tommi and Teddy. This talkative pair began conversing in the womb and are still going strong. Imagine what they'll say when they actually learn to speak! Rounding out the cast is Crunchy, a grouchy but warm-hearted police officer who is Joe's partner, and a host of extended family members and friends. You'll enjoy the wit and wisdom of this colorful, unpredictable cast, which includes the antics of in-laws, co-workers, a 6-year-old doctor, and a texting dog named Snoog-A-Boo.
